Except Sweden is pretty much pop music. Something like 80% of pop music in the US has actually been worked on by Swedes.

No, you're the only one. That's why their marketing team decided to advertise it on Spotify and release it as the first follow-up single to "I Love It."

@avclub-3db41011acc2d229176bf6a92202728d:disqus She had two Top 3 hits and a third Top 10 hit just two years ago, though.

Femme Fatale is her best album, though!
(Also I don't think she's really "to blame" for its quality, considering she pretty much just sings whatever her producers give her and she herself is barely on it anyway)

Heh, well. My picks went south very fast:
Well then. I change my pick to Tyson, Rachel, Aras, and Ciera.

"And I didn't get his 'four guys and a gay guy' comment. If you had a casual conversation with Caleb and didn't know he was Colton's fiancee, would you even know he was gay? Does it impair him in some way? He seems much more fit for physical activity than Colton is."
I'm guessing all the members of the "loved ones"

Who? Do you mean Wilver Valmerondo?

I actually thought the third season finale was a really fitting end to a really great season. 
If you want to see a show go "Fuck You" to the audience I suggest you watch Season 1's finale again.

I think Netflix the only reason this was brought back the first time was that Netflix was co-financing it. I guess they decided not to co-finance it again, for whatever reason.

Oh, fuck. I didn't even know that Colton was coming back. I get wanting to bring back controversial players, but Colton wasn't even controversial, he was just awful. I think this was pretty much agreed on by everyone who wasn't Mayim Bialik.

"Trouble" came out well before she started dating Harry Styles. I could've sworn it was supposed to be about John Mayer.

…I just learned what "freaking in a Jeep" means. I always just assumed it was another inane Katy Perry song lyric along the lines of "do you ever feel like a plastic bag" that didn't actually mean anything.

Oh snap, shots fired.

I don't think she's still trying to be the "bookish girl next door," that was like two records ago. She's a bit more of a cipher now, though her persona is also distinctly more irritating.

I dislike how she uses "indie" as a pejorative. As if all "Indie" is the same or something and that it's simply laughable that any indie record could be cooler than hers.

I actually loved that part. In most music videos now they pussyfoot around the still obvious advertising and it's kind of insulting to my intelligence. This one doesn't bother with subtlety. It's great.

They seemed pretty authentic at the outset of her career. After all, she was, like 16 when she released "Complicated"? Those are the prime rebellion and angst years right there.

I actually like this video (and song) a lot more than Bad Romance and its video. Both that song and the corresponding video are so claustrophobic, like she, the song's producer, and the director of the video all took coke before making their own parts and went incredibly overboard, trying to cram every single possible

Britney's releasing an album this year!
Apparently it's being executive produced by will.i.am, though, so maybe we shouldn't raise our hopes too high.

Weird, I'm the opposite. The pre-chorus is great but the verses are so nothing and the chorus itself is only so-so. I'd still say it's one of her better singles, but it could be so much better, too.
